2015 Peugeot 108 1.0L Petrol · OV15 OPE

A pattern of recurring advisories regarding tyre condition and suspension components characterizes this vehicle's recent testing history, despite its most recent pass on 29 May 2026. While the vehicle has avoided major failures since a significant tyre and braking imbalance failure in June 2025, the record shows a trend of consumables reaching the end of their service life. The most recent advisory for pitted or scored front brake discs indicates that while the braking system met minimum standards during the last inspection, the surface integrity of the discs is deteriorating. The recorded mileage of 34,346 miles over approximately eleven years represents an average annual accumulation of roughly 3,122 miles. This low-mileage usage profile can often lead to specific mechanical issues, such as the perishing and cracking of rubber components seen in the 2022 and 2025 MOT records. When a vehicle is driven infrequently, tyres and suspension bushes are more susceptible to age-related degradation and ozone cracking rather than tread wear, which is reflected in the repeated advisories for perishing tyres and worn anti-roll bar linkage pins. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the braking system and suspension during a test drive. Given the 2026 advisory regarding pitted or scored front brake discs, listen for any rhythmic clicking or grinding noises when moving at low speeds and feel for any pulsations or judder through the brake pedal during deceleration. The 2024 advisories for worn anti-roll bar linkage pins and bushes suggest that the front suspension may exhibit specific symptoms; listen for knocks, clunks, or rattling sounds when driving over uneven surfaces or speed bumps, as these indicate play in the linkage. The history of tyre-related failures, specifically the major defect for a sidewall cut reaching the cords in 2025, highlights the need to inspect the current tread depth and sidewall integrity of all four tyres. Additionally, the previous failure regarding imbalanced rear brakes should be monitored by checking for any pulling to one side when applying the brakes or a sensation of the car tracking unevenly under braking. Ensure that the tyre pressure monitoring system, which was flagged as inoperative in 2025, is now fully functional and displaying accurate readings.
